My 2 Dogs: Altered Album

Last week Carolyn put me to work on a Maya Road Arrow Album. I decided to make it a book about my two dogs, Mister Farley and Miss Daisy. They really are best friends -- inseparable! They go everywhere together... even the vet's office!

I used Hideaway Cafe patterned paper by Cosmo Cricket for the cover and all of the pages, and matted all of the photos with black cardstock. I used a couple of stamps by Stampin' Up, and by A Muse Art Stamps. Each page has unique embellishments (charms, buttons, eyelets, etc) but using the patterned paper series throughout the album really pulled the project together.

You can see the entire album at The Crafty Scrapper, and here in my personal gallery. Enjoy!! =) -Anna.
